Intergenerational Vibrancy
Lulu Houdini

This piece is an ode to the Cultural Vibrancy of the Original People of this continent, exploring what is carried through the generations, through birth and guliman’s (coolamons), through play and story.

Intergenerational Vibrancy embodies a strength based narrative, centering the inherited love and joy of Mob as an antidote to intergenerational trauma.

This is an invitation to sit and feel the fullness of what is living in our bodies, in our dna.

Swell in our Lateral Love as you hear the breath of Ancestors carried forth in the laughter of my kin and family, from the past and present, to what will be - in our self-determined futures.

Always Was Always Will Be

Feel what is carried by hovering the guliman cursor over the timeline from 65k years past, to 65k years into the future. Listen deeply. Pause in the here and now at the middle of the timeline, to feel your place in our line of always.

Lulu is a Gamilaroi poet and midwife living with/on Jerrinja, Wandi-Wandandian Country.
